What is truly disgusting is the way that Biden continues to come out over and over and say that he relied upon the expert military advice in deciding to abandon Bagram. But separately, Milley and Austin have said that they did not recommend closing Bagram - but instead- they told Biden that if he insisted on drawing down the troops that they had to choose between defending/maintaining Bagram and defending the embassy so they went with the embassy. And then - because Biden drew down and capped the troops- they had to abandon the embassy to defend the Kabul airport. Both Biden and the generals come out looking disgusting there but it is factually incorrect for Biden to continue to say that the generals told him bagram would not be needed or that they thought they could defend it. That is bullshiite. The generals were told over and over how troops they could and could not have and had to set priorities within that. And Biden continue to double down on stupid by actually withdrawing even more troops as things got worse. Idiots. And dishonest idiots on top of that. The other thing about Bagram, and maybe I digress or maybe no one cares, is that Bagram is almost at the entrance to the Panjshir Valley where the Northern Alliance is. The Panshir Valley is - hard to believe- only about thirty miles from Kabul. So shiite-for--brains Biden hands over Bagram to the Taliban and arms them to hilt with American weaponry right in one of the most strategic areas to make sure no opposition to the Taliban can take root. Idiots.
Love all the hate solely for the president but not one negative word for ISIS who actually sent a suicide bomber or taliban Deaths of soldiers in Afghanistan in 2017:14 2018:14 2019:21 2020:11 No one was too upset with trump or the fact that he decided to call in the terrorists who were outside of Afghanistan to negotiate withdrawal of troops and overlook....um... the actual Afghan government. If you are pissed at Biden and have nothing for trump then you are a hypocritical hack..
I have been saying very little... but isis is bad... but the point is we knew they do those things. The people who gave them the opening are the fools who deserve to be fired.... summarily. Unless of course this is all President Biden's fault. Then if it was impacted by dementia... he should be removed. If it was because he has been wrong about foreign policy his whole life... Then... we should blame the two party system.
Either the president pulled the trigger and killed U.S. servicemen and be consistent or not.. by cons logic then trump is responsible for the deaths of 58 soldiers and no one cares.
Common sense would tell a person of even the meanest intelligence that abandoning a 30 square mile military base in favor of a civilian airport was an error of epic proportions.
All presidents are responsible for the service members that lose their life during their presidency. It’s been that way since George Washington was president. Biden does have a way of not obfuscating this as many presidents before him have. It’s not exactly politically savvy but Biden does have a deeper sense of responsibility than most people.
